Question: An anthropologist is modeling cultural diffusion between three villages located at points $ A = (0, 0), B = (6, 0), C = (3, 6) $. If the influence of each village on the total cultural score is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the center of mass, and the total influence is 1, what is the influence from village $ A $?
